Klaiber Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Just a quick note - Daylight Savings time snuck up on me. I didn't realize that it was actually flipping this weekend. When TIF starts (in a few weeks), it will be run at 2PM EDT / 6PM UTC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heinrich Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Possibly somewhere in the near future we have a DST per country not for the entire Union. Not sure what happens in the NLD, most likely we get rid of the DST. Klaiber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonrd Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 For the life of me, I just don't understand why we don't make the clocks register 12:00 Noon when the sun is at it's apex on the summer solstice and leave it at that. It's what our biological clocks are wired to through millions of years of evolution. Britchot, Butzzell, Klaiber and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 In the past=youth, it was fun having that extra hour of light in the summer evenings. With the climate change, new mosquitos have arrived, and these start stinging already around 3 PM. The new ones make no sound and the itching is a lot more. No fun being outdoors (unprotected) nowadays in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I just wish they'd stop the nonsense as I would rather have it lighter in the am to have a better chance to spot deer, elk and moose on my drive to work !
